    Any chance we could train one or more of these in military tactics and have them organize their wild brethren to defend themselves against predation from humans? Maybe that's how Planet of the Apes REALLY begins.

    Sadly, the only thing I remember about Bononos from anthropology class are their ..."unique" sexual practices.


    I would wager though that those sensitive Bonobo artists must get all the g2g rubbing they can handle.

    That orangutan self-portrait is kind of amazing, actually.

    @Jay042: Oh. Well, that's substantially less impressive.


    Still, I love orangutans.
